<\/p>\nAyuba Wabba, the President of NLC warned that workers were running out of patience on the implementation of the new wage.<\/p>\n
Wabba frowned at Buhari\u2019s delay in transmitting an executive bill for the N30,000 minimum wage to the National Assembly.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Monday at this year\u2019s \u2018Harmattan School of the Congress\u2019 holding in Abuja, he said the continued delay by the President was stretching the workers\u2019 patience to their limits.<\/p>\n
The NLC boss also described as unfortunate the position of some governors who are opposed to the N30.000 new minimum wage, \u201cbut are spending billions of dollars in the name of security votes which they can\u2019t account for.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe don\u2019t know why the president has not transmitted the executive bill, the report of the tripartite committee to the National Assembly for an enactment into law, because workers patience is running out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have maintained that any governor that said he can\u2019t pay the N30,000 should go to his state, gather workers and tell them they are spending billions of dollars in the name of security votes but once it comes to payment of N30,000 minimum wage, they are saying workers are just 20 percent.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can they say that because without workers which include health workers, police, army and others, most politicians can\u2019t sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201cMinimum wage is not a favour but a right of a worker because the law states that after 30days, a labourer is worthy of his wage\u201d.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
